Lyrics for singles by Seals and Crofts

See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everythings alright
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
[chorus]
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
[chorus]

Diamond Girl - you sure do shine
Glad I found you - glad you're mine
Oh my love you're like a precious stone
Part of earth where heaven has rained on
Makes no difference where you are
Day or nighttime you're like a shinin' star
And how could I shine without you
When it's about you that I am
Diamond Girl - roamin' wild
Such a rare thing - radiant child
I could never find another one like you
Part of me is deep down inside you
Can't you feel the whole world's a-turnin'
We are real and we are a-burnin'
Diamond Girl now that I've found you
It's around you that I am

Life, so they say
Is but a game and they'd let it slip away
Love, like the autumn sun
Should be dyin' but it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead
They don't see just where we're goin'
And all the secrets in the universe
Whisper in our ears
All the years that come and go
Take us up, always up
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
Dreams, so they say
Are for the fools and they let 'em drift away
Peace, like the silent dove
Should be flyin' but it's only just begun
Like Columbus in the olden days
We must gather all our courage
Sail our ships out on the open seas
Cast away our fears and
All the years that come and go
Take us up, always up
[chorus]
(So) I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy
I wanna cry when it makes it worthwhile
I may never pass this way again
That's why I want it with you
('Cause) You make me feel like I'm more than a friend
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end
I may never pass this way again
That's why I want it with you, baby
[chorus]

When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king and
Having everything I wanted
But that was long ago and
My dreams did not unfold so
I'm still the king of nothing
When I was seventeen I dreamed I gave a ring to
A pretty queen and then I held her
But that was slumber's fault for
I have no love at all and
I'm still the king of nothimg
If I could rule I'd dance my cares away
Find romance every day
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say
I'm the king
I'm the king
I'm the king of nothing

Tonight while the lights are shinin' and the microphone is on, I'll play for you
So many will be the blessings and so short will the time, I'll stay with you
But I'll play for you, I love you yes I do. You can say that I'm your friend
You can see my life begin and end. I'll always play for you
Hear the band, hear the band. Won't you let the music take you, hear the band
And let this night go on forever, and don't you ever stop the music. Let your spirit set you free
Hear the band, hear the band. You can sing and stomp you feet and clap your hands
And these few moments we'll share together, and I'll play for you
I've practiced many years and I have come a long, long way just to play for you
My life is but a song that I have written in many ways, just to say to you
To say, I love you yes I do. And I'd like for you to be
Whatever you would like to be. You'll always be special to me
